(Real Time) Packet Analysis and Capture

Background

libpcap

  • c/c++ packet capture library
  • developed by tcpdump group
  • will be implemented into a c/c++ application 

Network entropy

Statistics

  • most used ports
  • most active ip addresses
  • average packet size
  • average traffic amounts
  • property distributions

Network anomalies

  • normalize entropy
  • look for packets atleast n # of standard deviations from normal
  • shannon entropy

Maximum uncertainty

Uncertainty begins to approach zero

Goal and Expected Result

Primary

Secondary

  • Capture of packets in real time
  • Analysis and report of packet statistics for network administration
  • Calculation of global and local entropy
  • Usage of entropy comparison for anomalous network detection

Execution Plan

Packet Capture Subgoals

  1. Capture and storage of packets in real time from interface
  2. Analysis and report of packet statistics
  3. Calculation of baseline entropy
  4. Report
